Near to the door he paused to stand,

as he took his classring off her hand.

All who were watching did not speak

as a silent tear ran down his cheek.

And through his mind the memories ran

of the moments they walked

and ran in the sand hand in hand.

But now her eyes were so terribly cold

for he would never again have her to hold.

They watched in silence as he bent near

and whispered the words...."I LOVE YOU" in her ear.

He touched her face and wanted to cry

as he put on his ring and wanted to die.

And just then the wind began to blow

as they lowered her casket into the snow.

This is what happens to man alive....
